[QUOTE="tony, post: 98598, member: 2152"] Dear Singh JI Thank you for your post but you seem to think that I'm only asking about hair, I'd also like to know why about the rest, Why you keep them and how they help you in every day life please. You say that I cut my hair for individuality ego reasons but the reasons are no different to yours, Both are about identity yours and mine that is, A sikh uses hair to say an individual is a Sikh, As a punk uses his hair. A skin head uses his or lack of hair, all are a statement of what they are, all are to say that the individual doesn't conform to the norm, to the socially acceptable. So as you are a Sikh and Sikhism is about the truth please state where you have seen this Hukam. Thank you again for taking the time to post Thank you Antonia ji for your positive input, I can see what your saying with the message of religious freedom, but Using your hair or any other outward sign to send a message to others is a for of egotism, it as you stated says hey look at me I'm a whatever, When i was growing up there where many in England who used their hair to send this message to identify what group they belong to, it is away to separate people. People use an individuals look to put them in groups to classify them, This also works in religion. Take away a persons outward image and no knows what group/ religion they are, No identity, No class, No race, No ego, No more look at me look what I am, Basically No more separation.

If no one thought or cared about how we look then no one can persicute them for it. Just my thoughts. Lalihayer ji I can understand your thoughts on those who have gave their lives to fight for religious freedom, but fights only start when we identify and challenge others with it, Sikhism is a personal journey towards the truth is their any need to shout about it the look at me syndrome. Let them have the world the earthly riches, I would rather find peace when its all gone all left here for some other fool to gather. If you want to show outward signs of faith do it with actions not identity, its identity/ ego that causes fights. Does it really matter if some one knows who you are. Sorry just my thoughts on how to make the world a better place. Japjisahib ji I no all are welcome, But as yet I not seen any of the Sehajdharis use one liners to justify the cutting of hair, its the other way round, people twisting the SGGS to say we shouldn't cut hair, when there is clearly no mentioning of the need to grow hair, if there was then My hair would already be on its way to shoulder length (well whats left anyway).There is no mention of the other four K's either, that's why I' asking why and how do others use them to help in every day live, but every one seems to think this thread is just about hair, Its not its about the FIVE K's and to help others get a better understanding, I'm looking for positive reason from both sides please.

If no body had an identity then no one would die for it, Identity creates ego, creates division. Dalbirk ji just seen your last post, and unfortunately must disagree, My partners father was strict Sikh, five Ks as is my friends father and a few other Sikhs that I know, none of their children follow Sikhism, none go to the gurdwara, My partner isn't that interested in our children following Sikhism, so unfortunately it doesn't work in all cases, and the opposite side of the coin is that I wasn't brought up in a Sikh house hold yet I'm doing my best to follow and also to get my children interested not only in Sikhism but the language of panjabi as well, I will say though that while you idea may work outside the Uk, Here there are far to many distractions for the young and the strict panjabi/ Sikh culture puts them off.They seem to prefer the designer wear and flash cars to the Five K's.

Sorry for disagreeing these are just my views based on what I see in the UK and of the people I've met. Once again thank you to all for your comments, but please try to remember this thread is not just about the hair, Its more about how you use the five K's to help you in every day life and if you Know where I can find the Hukam I would be most grateful.
